<h4>Aim</h4>To identify the plasma metabolic profile associated with childhood obesity and its metabolic phenotypes.<h4>Materials & methods</h4>The plasma metabolic profile of 65 obese and 37 normal-weight children was obtained using proton NMR spectroscopy. NMR spectra were rationally divided into 110 integration regions, which reflect relative metabolite concentrations, and were used as statistical variables.<h4>Results</h4>Obese children show increased levels of lipids, N-acetyl glycoproteins ...[more]
